I recently purchased a TM1. I have found it pretty easy to operate, and had very little problems. I bought it from the guy who built it, and saved a bunch over building it myself. They pop up on craigslist all the time.

I bought the gantry kit long time ago. ask them what plasma machines are compatable with the software for the thc. i am using a hypertherm powermax 600 and its not compatable with the thc so i am using thier proxcimity sensors and thay limit my torch from cutting a tru 4'x8' sheet. as far as it being a good machine. my next table wont be a torchmate.
